Title: Improvements relating to Continuous Electrolysis.
Inventor: RAMBALDINI GIOVANNI BATTISTA
Filed: 1906-04-03
Granted: 1907-07-03
Abstract: 8039. Rambaldini, G. April 3, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Chlorine; hydrogen.-In an electrolytic decomposition process effected without the use of porous diaphragms and giving rise to products one of which is soluble and the other solid or gaseous, the electrolyte is regenerated by adding in a liquid form such amount of electrolyte as corresponds to the transport of solid or gaseous ion freed and to the solvent decomposed by secondary reaction, an equivalent quantity of liquid being allowed to flow out, and by adding such quantity of electrolyte, in anhydrous form, at the electrode where the solid or gaseous product is set free as corresponds to the transport of ion into the produced liquid. To supply the anhydrous salt and the liquid electrolyte, the liquid in contact with the electrodes at which the solid or gaseous products are liberated is caused to enter and leave the bath in an horizontal direction, and to circulate continuously in series with an external reservoir to which the quantity of anhydrous salt and electrolytic liquid necessary to maintain the constant volume and density are supplied. The process is described in connexion with the electrolysis of brine to produce caustic soda &c., and the apparatus employed is approximately the same as that described in Specification No. 2376, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class Electrolysis], the essential difference being the addition of hoods B, Fig. 5, over the electrodes to lead off the evolved gases and thus obviate disturbance of the liquid layers. The cell is divided by means of non-porous diaphragms a into anode and cathode compartments 1, 2 provided with supply and discharge systems A', A<2>, m, n. The operation is diagrammatically illustrated in Fig. 4. The cathode liquid is caustic soda, the anode liquid is brine, and the supernatant layer for completing the electrolytic circuit is also brine. The anode liquid circulates continuously through a vat E containing salt crystals, while the caustic soda circulates through a vat provided with a fixed aperture from which caustic soda emerges at a rate corresponding to the rise of meniscus level in the cathode cell, whereby the meniscus is maintained at a constant level. An equivalent quantity of water is supplied to the vat E by a pipe c and also a quantity of salt equivalent to that absorbed by dissolution. The hydrogen and chlorine evolved may be collected and employed in the usual ways.

Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 26,174. Campo, C. Nov. 24, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Variable speed and reversing gearing.-Relates to variable-speed and reversing gearing of the type in which two face-wheels are driven by a pair of friction pinions one of which drives the other. Pinions 15, 16, Fig. 1, in driving contact, drive disks 7, 8 in the same direction ; the power is transmitted to, say, the road wheels of a motor-vehicle through chain-wheels 5, 6 on shafts 3, 4 upon which the disks are adapted to slide, being pressed together by springs 11, 12. The pinions 15, 16 are secured to shafts 17, 18 supported by bearings 21, 22 which allow of lateral play relatively to a rotatable drum 23, and by bearings 19, 20 upon a cross-bar 26. The drum 23 is also slidably mounted in a fixed yoke 28. The whole system may be slid towards or from the common axis of the shafts 3, 4 to vary the velocity-ratio, a universallymounted transmitting-shaft 40 being made telescopic to suit. - Before changing the gear, the system may be rocked about the axis of the drum 23 to disengage the pinions 15, 16. By means of a central spindle 31 and worm gearing 34, the system may be rotated about the axis of the drum 23, so as to invert the positions of the pinions 15, 16 and so reverse the drive. In a modification, shown in Fig. 3, the disks 7, 8 are provided with bevel-gear surfaces 41 adapted to be engaged by bevel-wheels 42, 43 secured upon the shafts 17, 18. Alternative arrangements for reversing are shown in Fig. 5. A driving-shaft 39 projects inside the drum 23 and carries a toothed wheel 51, which may be slid into mesh with either of two wheels 54, 55 upon the spindles 17, 18, respectively ; or pinions 15<1>,16<1> on the side of the shafts 3, 4 remote from the pinions 15, 16 may be used. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also a modification in which the spindles of the friction pinions are inclined to one another so that one universal joint only is required. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 26,640. Soc. Anon. Westinghouse, and Leblanc, M. Nov. 27, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Ejectors; ejector condensers.-Relates to modifications in apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 21,271, A.D. 1904. The convergent nozzle 5, Fig. 4 is, according to the present invention, now built up of a series of cones 8 ... 12 arranged one behind the other, as shown in Fig. 6. These cones are carried by diaphragms 24 which form separate chambers 13 ... 18. Each diaphragm is fitted with an automatic valve opening in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the fluid. The loads on the valves are so arranged that the pressure increases along the whole length of the nozzle in proportion to the diminution towards the outlet in cross-sectional area. In Fig. 6, the valves are shown as consisting of hinged plates with adjustable loads 25. Fig. 7 shows the complete apparatus as applied for creating a vacuum in a vessel connected at 2. The valves in this case consist of simple washers 36 guided by sleeves 37. The bottom cone 30 delivers into a cone 39, which communicates through a pipe 40 with a source of condensing- water. The condensation takes place either in the cone 39 or in the cones 41, 42. A rise in pressure in these cones can be prevented by valves 34, 43, 44, atmospheric pressure being finally attained in the cone 45. The cone 45 projects into the delivery cone of a small ejector 46, exhausting into the atmosphere at 47 and supplied by steam under pressure through a pipe 48. This ejector serves to start the supply of water through the pipe 40. A regulating-spindle 26 is fitted in the steam nozzle 4.

Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 6202. Daimler Motoren Ges. March 19, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Differential gearing for motor-vehicles is arranged away from the axle and transmits motion to the two parts through separate trains of bevelgearing. The gear, Fig. 2, of the internallytoothed type, receives motion from the longitudinal shaft a through a universal joint b. The driven members of the gear are connected one to the shaft h and the other to the sleeve i. The shaft and sleeve are inclined so that the equalsized bevel-wheels m, mounted on the sleeve and shaft respectively, may each gear with one of the bevel-wheels p, q secured to the ends of the parts o, n of the axle. The driving-member of the differential gear carries two pairs of planetary pinions of different sizes meshing together, as shown in Fig. 1. The large pinions f are narrow and gear with an internally toothed ring k connected to the sleeve i, while the small pinions are wide enough to mesh with the large pinions, and also with an internally toothed ring g connected to the shaft h. This construction allows the two parts of the axle to be inclined to one another. In a modification, the two parts of the axle are made hollow and are mounted on a solid through axle, which may serve as a bearing for the shaft h, or may allow it to pass through without touching.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Magneto Electrical Ignition Devices for Internal Combustion Engines or the like.
Inventor: POSTANS ARTHUR JAMES
Filed: 1907-07-30
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 17,463. Postans, A. J. July 30. Gas and like engines, igniting in. To prevent sparking at the contacts of the distributor used in the igniting systems of multicylinder engines in which the current is supplied by a magneto, a circuit in parallel with that of the operating sparking-plug is closed just after ignition and is kept closed until the current in the magneto armature is reversed and the next sparking-plug for duty is connected in circuit with the magneto. In the diagram shown in Fig. 1, the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4 represent brushes connected respectively to the explosion, compression, exhausting, and suction cylinders of a four-cylinder engine. The switch is driven from the engine as usual, and has a firing strip a and an auxiliary or shunt bar b. Sparking will occur when the strip a is touching one of the brushes 1, 2, 3, 4 and the strip b is at the same time free from these brushes. Before the strip a leaves the brush 1, the strip b is on the brush 3 so that the current is divided and sparking at the brush 1 prevented. The strip b remains on brush 3 until the strip a reaches the brush 2, and before the electromotive force is again a maximum the strip b leaves the brush 3, so that the whole of the igniting current is utilized in the cylinder connected to the brush 2. A distributor for carrying out this method is shown in Fig. 4. Current from the magneto is conveyed to the circumferential strip f through a spring-loaded ball f and binding-screw f The firing bar a and shunt bar b are connected to the strip f, and working in conjunction with these are spring-pressed balls g, which are connected to the sparking-plugs through the terminals g<1>. The invention is also applicable to engines working on the two-stroke cycle, in which case the bar b rotates in contact with an independent set of brushes connected to suitable resistances.
